Kilted at Crater Lake

**Silent Raven** · 5th October 11, 09:08 AM

So this past sunday my fiance and I went off to crater lake which is a nice 2.5 hours drive from our home but well worth it. the weather was nice, sunny and cloudy with a nice chill in the air as well as a good wind too. I decided to wear my MacPherson Sportkilt as it is my kilt of choice for hiking and such, although with the chill i sometimes wished i had brought a thicker kilt but it wasn't too bad. At times my kilt did 'inflate' due to some of the winds but it never completely lifted of left me exposed, it just kinda filled with air and i wish i got a picture of it but i did not. but i will share some other pictures from this trip. If you haven't been and you are in the area its worth the trip for sure! although it does kinda close down in the winter months.

(forgive the awful faces, like i said it was an awkward sunny/cloudy and made me squint the whole time)

(And a nice panoramic for everyone to enjoy!)

Nice pictures, Josh, despite the foul weather.
But I ought to point out that the lady is your fiancée. You are her fiancé.
When is the big day? She should be a lovely bride.
Regards,
Mike

the weather was actually decent besides the squinting, considering it rained at our house almost all day (2.5 hours away).

Our wedding is in June of 2012, and yes ill be kilted!

This looks like a cool place for sure! Bit of a gray day, but still nice. How long is the hike to get in there?

Congrats too on your engagement!

you can actually drive around the whole crater (about a 2-3 hour drive) but there are different places and peaks to stop at and hike along the whole route it was lots of fun and just beautiful

Crater lake is great...a good hike down at the visitors center and a nice drive around the rim. I've been three times, myself and I always imagine what the original KABOOM and collapse must have been like.

As a budding geologist, I have often mused on the same subject.

Silent Raven, it's always a great day for a hike in such a beautiful and interesting spot! Well done.
